Sascha Vongehr,
Ph.D. is
Assistant Professor / Research Fellow at
National Laboratory of Solid-State Microstructures,
College of Engineering and Applied Sciences,
Nanjing University.

Sascha studied philosophy, mathematics, chemistry, and physics
in Germany, obtained a B.S. degree in theoretical physics
(electromagnetism) and M.S. degree (string theory) at Sussex University,
UK, and subsequently researched quantum gravity (black holes, two-time
theory) at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA,
USA. His Ph.D. degree from the University of Southern California, in
2005, is on nanotechnology experiments and statistics of nontrivial
cluster size distributions.

He completed postdoctoral
positions in
neuroscience of the visual system at the USC Psychology Department in
2006, in nanotechnology and cosmology at Nanjing University Physics
Department in 2010, and in philosophy of science and modern physics at
the Nanjing University Philosophy Department in 2012.

Sascha has mainly
published in the field of nanotechnology and is currently officially
affiliated with the National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures
of Nanjing University as Research Fellow, nonteaching faculty. His
scientific outreach efforts to further the public understanding of
science include a
science column on Science 2.0 where he has become a
featured author.
